YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIsrael has once again intensified its military action against Syria. This time, the targets were the Ministry of Defense and the Chief of Staff headquarters in Damascus.
The attacks on Syria began while the Israeli Prime Minister was attending a court trial for bribery charges. Netanyahu left the courtroom citing security reasons. Netanyahu claimed the attacks in Syria were aimed at saving “Druze brothers” and eliminating the “regime’s gangs,” hinting at the Syrian forces that were sent to Sweida to contain the violence.
Communal violence between Druze and Bedouin armed groups began on June 13. The violence soon escalated, creating fears of further bloodshed and instability. Notably, the Israeli military began striking Syrian security forces and their weapons on Monday, after they were deployed to the city of Sweida for the first time since HTS rebels overthrew President Bashar al-Assad in December, to restore order.
